Although several roles for OX40 in CD8+ T cell responses to tumors and viral infection have been shown, the precise function of these signals in the generation of memory CD8+ T cells remains to be elucidated. To address this, we examined the generation and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells during infection with Listeria monocytogenes in the presence and absence of OX40 signaling. We used the expression of killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1), a recently reported marker, to distinguish between short-lived effector and memory precursor effector T cells (MPECs). Although OX40 was dispensable for the generation of effector T cells in general, the lack of OX40 signals significantly reduced the number and proportion of KLRG1low MPECs, and, subsequently, markedly impaired the generation of memory CD8+ T cells. Moreover, memory T cells that were generated in the absence of OX40 signals in a host animal did not show self-renewal in a second host, suggesting that OX40 is important for the maintenance of memory T cells. Additional experiments making use of an inhibitory mAb against the OX40 ligand demonstrated that OX40 signals are essential during priming, not only for the survival of KLRG1low MPECs, but also for their self-renewing ability, both of which contribute to the homeostasis of memory CD8+ T cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.181.9.5990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,18]],"date-time":"2014-04-18T23:03:28Z","timestamp":1397862208000},"page":"5990-6001","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["OX40 Costimulatory Signals Potentiate the Memory Commitment of Effector CD8+ T Cells"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"181","author":[{"given":"Seyed Fazlollah","family":"Mousavi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pejman","family":"Soroosh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Takahashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasunobu","family":"Yoshikai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Host Defense, Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University , Fukuoka,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , Philadelphia, PA 19104"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leo","family":"Lefran\u00e7ois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, University of Connecticut Health Center , Farmington, CT 06030"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jannie","family":"Borst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Immunology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute , Amsterdam,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuo","family":"Sugamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoto","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine , Sendai,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032700371549900_R1","first-page":"54","article-title":"Immunological memory and protective immunity: understanding their relation","volume-title":"Science","year":"1996"},{"key":"2025032700371549900_R2","first-page":"146","article-title":"Developing and maintaining protective CD8+ memory T cells","volume-title":"Immunol.
